The Victor Davis Hanson Show · History of Income Tax Amendment 16 and News of the Week · 1 Mar 2025 podcast

Hello and welcome to the Victor Davis Hanson Show. This is our Saturday edition where we look at something a little bit different in the middle section. And this week, Victor is going to be talking about the 16th Amendment and income tax is added to government powers in the United States. But first, let's listen to a few messages and we'll talk about a few news stories after that. Stay with us.

So, Victor, I wanted to start off this, a lot of questions because they've been sort of piling up in my agenda on health care and just give you a mosaic. And then you can tell me your thoughts on what's going on with health care under the Trump administration.

Trump has passed or signed an executive order that is trying to press for, I don't know how successful they'll be, transparency in pricing with health care providers. Elon Musk has... started into finding all the fraud, which everybody knows exists in our public health care providers. And so he's hot on the trail of that. There's been a measles outbreak in Texas.

And then finally, polls coming out that increasing numbers of Americans are becoming a little bit worried about what's going to happen to Medicare and Medicaid. And I wondered... your thoughts on the healthcare situation in general?

Thank you, Factor, for coming back to sponsor the Victor Davis Hanson show. So, Victor, you were speaking of immigration and we have Trump with a interesting proposal to allow for golden cards and that this would be people who can pay five million, I think he said, and then they would get a golden card. to enter and work in the United States, or companies could pay that for somebody.

I was wondering your thoughts on this.

Well, they're trying to stop him in all sorts of ways, but fortunately, they don't have the greatest minds on their side. I just saw AOC out ranting and raving about Elon Musk. It was entirely unconvincing. She's just crazy, right?

Well, Victor, let's go ahead and take a break and come back and talk a little bit about the 16th Amendment. Stay with us, and we'll be right back. Welcome back to the Victor Davis Hanson Show. You can catch Victor at his social media on X. He is at VD Hanson and on Facebook, it's Hanson's Morning Cup.

So, Victor, the 16th Amendment is allowing the United States to have an income tax, something that the country resisted all the way for 100 years. It had been tariffs as the means to earn or excise tax for the federal government to earn its income. earn money to pay for it. And so now they were instituting an income tax.

And I'm kind of curious why 100 years later, and I know that we can see some resemblance to Donald Trump turning to tariffs and trying to fix our terrible income tax problem. But what are your thoughts on 16?

All right. Let's go ahead and take a break and come back to talk a little bit about things in the news. The funny or facetious and then some sad events occurred this week. So stay with us. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the Victor Davis Hanson show. So, Victor, could I just ask you one thing?

Because you were talking about Donald Trump and you said he's very smart and he's got a business cunning. And so but recently he's adopted the facade of the sort of mellow, contented old man. I love that. And he's sort of put Elon out there as that. that target to take all of the hard shots for him.

Do you think he admires Elon in a way of somebody who kind of sees himself in Elon when he was that age?

Well, Victor, let's turn to some good reading and good listening. And I'm being completely facetious for our listeners. We have in terms of listening, I guess Gavin Newsom is starting his own podcast and he's calling it. This is Gavin Newsom. And I was wondering your thoughts on such a narcissistic thing.

I have a feeling it's going to be quickly dubbed, this is not Gavin Newsom's show.

I like that Trump gave him, or it seems to be giving, he's going to give him money, but he's not going to let Newsom and his cronies have control of it.

Well, I promised good reading as well. Apparently, Jake Tapper, a CNN interviewer, has written or is writing a book called Original Sin. President Biden's decline, its cover up and this disastrous choice to run again and his disastrous choice to run again.
